Mark Karpelès, the head of defunct cryptocurrency exchange Mt. Gox, has been found guilty of tampering with financial records, but thanks to a suspended sentence will probably avoid prison.

Today, some five years after being ransacked by hackers, a Japanese court found Karpelès combined his personal finances with user funds kept on Mt. Gox in a bid to obfuscate the losses. He was handed a 33-month suspended sentence, Bloomberg reports.

The Tokyo District Court also found the Frenchman ‘not-guilty’ of embezzlement, after it decided he had committed those crimes without ill intent.

He has maintained his innocence the entire time, even in the face of today’s impending court decision. He is likely to avoid prison, unless he commits another crime in the next four years. Karpelès reportedly spent roughly one year under arrest before authorities released him on bail.
